According to Jules (2010), “We are at a historic moment in the Caribbean where we must take stock of where we are, where we seek to go and how we we intend to achieve this. Go for it. In light of changes in the global economy, technology and society, I believe there is a need to re-evaluate our educational goals in order to meet the needs of contemporary Caribbean society. Jules (2010) is of the opinion that to address these modern challenges, the Caribbean must employ effective measures within the education system that will meet the current needs of society. I believe there are key objectives that should be at the center of regional education. In considering what I think education should achieve, the term "education" will be considered in the context of formal education, that is, institutionalized education. Education in the institutional sense refers to the development of a person resulting from what happens in schools or any other formal educational institution (Cornel and Hamm, 1989). Schools should take on the task of training individuals capable of meeting our economic, technological and social needs. Research has shown that the knowledge and skills acquired in school provide the foundation for future success in the job market and are an indicator of economic growth (Matthews, 2013). Thus, education in contemporary Caribbean society should seek to develop competent, competent and critical thinkers, while perpetuating aspects of our culture and maintaining a sense of morality. Peters (cited by Cornel and Hamm, 1989) views education as a means of achieving something of value not only in the extrinsic sense, such as in acquiring a job or a skill, but also that the Education itself has value in itself. I believe winning...... middle of paper ...... education reform in the Caribbean today. “The goal of education has always been, in essence, the same for everyone: to give young people the things they need. need in order to develop in an orderly and sequential manner into members of society” (Dewey, 1934). This idea proposed by Dewey eight decades ago can also be applied to contemporary Caribbean society. Institutionalized education is the vehicle through which this logical and sequential development can occur. By providing citizens with knowledge and skills adapted to our economic needs and technological advances, we will be able to meet current demands. Furthermore, the perpetuation of moral and cultural values ​​will ensure a stable and unified society. Although these goals are reflected to some extent in our current education system, much more needs to be done to ensure that they are properly implemented..
